Bertrand Bonello's Tiresia, is a dark, twisted, and haunting tale. Certainly one of the most interesting films I have seen. Backed by excellent performances by the three lead actors. Unusually yet effectively, the main character is played by two different actors while the two antagonists are played by the same actor.
